Summary
The final chapter in our study of transparency and corruption examines the causal pathway through case studies of two Chinese localities. In the early 2000s, the well-known leaders of Guangdong and Chongqing pioneered sharply contrasting methods for economic reform and anticorruption. Through archival research and first person interviews, we look at how Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong, adopted OGI policies early and was consequently more successful at limiting abuses of authority. In sharp contrast, we show how the state-led, aggressive approach of Chongqing ultimately foundered due to its inability to properly police the guardians.
